My Surprise Mate
Chapter 40
Dane moved Kyra’s bassinet from the living room into our bedroom.
As I got Kyra situated in our room, Dane went outside to talk to the guys and fill them in.
He wasn’t gone long and told me our house would be guarded from now until Devin is found.I had this gut feeling there was more going on than we realized.I couldn’t sleep at all, and Dane slept off and on.I lay there watching Kyra most of the night and every little noise I heard had me sitting up in bed.
Kyra woke up around five that morning and I decided to stay up for the day.
After getting us both dressed, I headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Kyra seemed to be her normal happy self just like any other morning, blissfully unaware of what was going on.
Unsure if all three guys had stayed outside all night or not, I opened the front door and stepped out to find Zayd standing near the steps, "Good morning," I told him.
He smiled at me as he walked up the steps, "Morning dear.You should still be asleep."
He pulled me in for a hug.
Zayd and Adria acted like parents I never had, and they always seemed to help ease my worries.
"I couldn’t sleep and, besides, Kyra woke up hungry this morning."
he smiled and nodded his head, "well she is a growing girl, and we tend to eat more than normal humans."
"l was going to offer some breakfast and coffee but wasn’t sure or Colby.
"I'll take some coffee," Zayd replied.
"Me too!" I turned to find Ash walking toward the porch.
Neither of them looked as tired as I felt this morning.I led them into the kitchen and started pouring them each a cup while they sat down at the table.
"Good morning little princess," Zayd cooed to Kyra.She smiled brightly at him as he picked her up.
"Did y’all stay outside the whole night?" I questioned them.
"Yes and no,"
Ash started, "Four people were guarding all night, but we did rotate out with three of our best warriors to be able to squeeze in a little sleep."
I nodded in understanding as I handed them their mugs.
"Don’t forget Adria was here periodically through the night too."
"I had no idea she was out here too."
I watched as Zayd and Ash exchanged a knowing look, "What you have never seen is pissed off Adria when her family is being threatened.She wasn’t necessarily coming out to help guard but more to make sure we were doing it the ‘right’ way."
Both guys began to laugh, "she had us stationed around the house so there wasn’t a single side left unprotected, and every 15 minutes we had to switch spots to keep us alert."
Zayd was shaking his head as he spoke.
Dane walked into the kitchen wearing only a pair of sweatpants that hung dangerously low on his hips.
"Did we wake you?" I asked as he wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on top of mine.
He was watching Zayd playing with Kyra.
"No, you didn’t wake me.It’s just time to get up."
The front door opened as Adria came rushing in, have no idea how much trouble you two were fixing to be in." she pointed her finger at Ash and Zayd.
"Holly invited us in for coffee,"
Zayd started telling her as he walked toward her with Kyra, "you know I would never leave this angel unprotected."
Adria sighed, "I know honey, I just...I won’t let them get to her."
Zayd handed Kyra to her, "None of us will,"
Ash finally spoke.
I looked at Dane when there was a light knock at the door, "It’s Genesis and Blaze,"
Ash said as he went to open the door.
"Good morning,"
Genesis greeted as she followed Blaze into the house.
Blaze went straight to Adria and began talking to Kyra.
After setting Kyra on her playmat, Adria came and sat down at the table with us, "Should we have our meeting now or later in the office?"
She cut straight to the point.
"We just need Colby here and we can do it now.No reason to wait." I answered.
"He’s on his way,"
